net: Remote checksum offload for VXLAN

This patch set adds support for remote checksum offload in VXLAN.

The remote checksum offload is generalized by creating a common
function (remcsum_adjust) that does the work of modifying the
checksum in remote checksum offload. This function can be called
from normal or GRO path. GUE was modified to use this function.

To support RCO is VXLAN we use the 9th bit in the reserved
flags to indicated remote checksum offload. The start and offset
values are encoded n a compressed form in the low order (reserved)
byte of the vni field.

Remote checksum offload is described in
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-herbert-remotecsumoffload-01

Changes in v2:
  - Add udp_offload_callbacks which has GRO functions that take a
    udp_offload pointer argument. This argument can be used to retrieve
    a per port structure of the encapsulation for use in gro processing
    (mostly by doing container_of on the structure).
  - Use the 10th bit in VXLAN flags for RCO which does not seem to
    conflict with other proposals at this time (ie. VXLAN-GPE and
    VXLAN-GPB)
  - Require that RCO must be explicitly enabled on the receiver
    as well as the sender.

Tested by running 200 TCP_STREAM connections with VXLAN (over IPv4).
